Insurance & Payment for Lactation Home Visits
Insurance
Aetna, Anthem PPO, Blue Cross PPO, Blue Shield PPO and EPO, Cigna, Multiplan, PNOA, Sutter Health Plan HMO and HDHP, Meritain, Health Net of CA, Oscar, United Health Care (UHC), Veteran Affairs Community Care Network (VA CCN) often fully cover my lactation services.
If you have one of the above companies, contact me and I will help you verify coverage. This ideally should be done at least 2-3 days before we have a visit. However, almost all Aetna and Cigna are fully covered and the benefit check is less important.
I am in-network with Aetna, and can verify your coverage for you.
Kaiser will not cover lactation out of their system and is self-pay.
If you have another insurance company, I can check your benefits. I can give you a superbill and you can try to get reimbursement from your company.
I can take Carrot, Progyny, and Maven and my services are covered by FSA/HSA plans.
I charge a $100 travel fee to go to the far reaches of the East Bay (more than 30 minutes drive from my location in central Oakland).
I am working on being able to take Medi-Cal.
